Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
VOLDEMORT (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. THEODORE GEORGE (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Churchill Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1811m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. CLOONEY (4) returned from a two months break over 1609m last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has three wins here. Can measure up again. COWBOY MIKE (1) lines up for the first time since August 22. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1408m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.

Third-up today. First-up second last of 8 at Los Alamitos on December 5 over 1308m, 8 len behind Mining District with 54.5kg at $1.60. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at this track on January 8 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Clooney with 55.5kg at $5.20. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1710m.
